Everyone looked at the Lord of Xunnan City with strange eyes. These words were not convincing at all, okay?
Su Luo: "So, you suspect that I'm a thief who's rampant and overbearing?"
Su Muyang on the side really wanted to say, Aunt Luo is you.
In fact, Su Muyang was a little nervous.
Because they were indeed the ones who did these things, but now they are using them to confront the Lord of Xunnan City. Isn't this a bit too much of a show?
Su Muyang felt guilty and was afraid of being exposed.
But Su Luo was very confident, because since she dared to do this, she was confident.
She was not blindly confident, but the foreshadowing had already been laid, and now it was just being revealed layer by layer.
"Governor, there is indeed a thief who is rampant and tyrannical."
The chief clerk beside Governor Dou stepped forward and told him and the others in all seriousness, "Heng Xing Ba Dao is a bandit who roams the southwest. He has a powerful cultivation base, exceeding the fourth-star level."
The Chief Secretary is equivalent to the modern Secretary-General, and his status is higher than that of Adjutant Zhao. However, because Adjutant Zhao is a relative of Governor Dou, many of the Chief Secretary's rights were taken away by Adjutant Zhao.
Now seeing Adjutant Zhao being reprimanded by Governor Dou, he immediately stood up and showed his ability.
"If you were to describe Heng Xing Ba Dao as a chivalrous thief... he does have some resemblance to a knight-errant. He specializes in killing corrupt officials and is renowned for his brutality."
"I haven't heard much about him in the southwest lately, but a while ago, I saw him killing a corrupt official in a city in the north."
"There are rumors out there that those killed by the tyrants were all corrupt officials."
…
The Lord of Xunnan City looked at the Chief Secretary of the Governor's Office in shock.
"How come I haven't heard of this man called Heng Xing Ba Dao?!"
In fact, many people below have never heard of it.
The Chief Secretary smiled faintly, "Because Heng Xingbadao rarely takes action, but when he does, he always kills corrupt officials. Also, since I'm from the Southwestern Province, and I personally participated in an investigation into Heng Xingbadao decades ago, I know him well. I imagine the Governor-General has heard of him."
Everyone's eyes turned to Governor Dou.
Governor Dou stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "I've fought him before."
Is there really such a tyrant?!
"His strength is indeed at the fourth star in the Star Realm. He is best at strength. He is good at hammering, but also swordsmanship. That's why he has a hammer in his left hand and a sword in his right."
"He mostly keeps to himself, but he has several disciples who are skilled with crossbows. He occasionally takes them out for battle, primarily to train them."
Governor Dou frowned: "Could it be that he really came to Linbei Province?"
Thinking of this, Governor Dou said directly: "Check the accounts of Qinyang City!"
After a moment's thought, Governor Dou said, "Check the accounts of the County Magistrate's Office, the accounts of Xunnan City, and the accounts of Yunxi City!"
Four people came out from among the people brought by Governor Dou and walked away quickly.
Governor Dou sat on a high seat, lost in deep thought.
He did suspect the Su family at first, but being so domineering...it was also possible.
Could it be that the tyranny is related to the Su family?
No way.
If there is a connection, it is impossible to ignore the Su family's gradual decline and tyranny over the years.
However, Governor Dou would never have dreamed that the tyranny had nothing to do with the Su family, but was related to the Jinwu Hall.
According to what Butler Jiang said to Su Luo, this tyrant was saved by the goddess Yanhua.
